Find the simultaneous solution of these system of equations: 1. 2x=4y= 6 3x-y= 2 2. 2x=3y= 8 x=8y= 17 3. x=8= 0 2x=4y= 4

We'll solve the first system using elimination
method:


2x+4y= 6 (1)


3x-y= 2 
(2)


We'll multiply (2) by 4 and we'll
get:


4(3x-y)= 4*2 


We'll
remove the brackets:


12x - 4y = 8
(3)


We'll add (1) to (3):


2x +
4y + 12x - 4y= 6+8


14x =
14


We'll divide
by 14:


x =
1


We'll substitute the value of x in (2) and
we'll get:


3*1-y= 2 


3 - y =
2


We'll subtract 3 both
sides:


-y = 2-3


-y =
-1


We'll multiply by -1 both
sides:


y =
1


The solution of the
first system is {(1 , 1)}.


We'll solve the
second system of equations using the elimination method,
also:


2x+3y= 8 (1)


x+8y= 17
(2)


We'll multiply (2) by
-2:


-2x - 16y = -34 (3)


We'll
add (3) to (1):


2x + 3y - 2x - 16y = 8 -
34


We'll combine like
terms:


-13y = -26


We'll divide
by -13 both sides:


y =
2


We'll substitute y = 2 in
(2):


x+8y= 17


x + 16 =
17


We'll subtract 16 both
sides:


x = 17 -
16


x =
1


The solution
of the second system is {(1 ,
2)}.


We'll solve the third
system of equations using the substitution method:


x-8= 0
(1)


2x-4y= 4 (2)


We'll add 8,
both sides, in (1):


x =
-8


We'll substitute x = -8 in
(2):


-2*8-4y= 4


-16 - 4y =
4


We'll add 16 both sides:


-4y
= 4 + 16


-4y = 20


We'll divide
by -4 both sides:


y =
-5


The solution
of the third system is {(-8 ,
-5)}.

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
